Please clarify. <br /><br />Frankly, in terms of media exposure, I'd rather it be on the lies and crimes of the Bush Administration, then on a wide open field for the DemocraTIC Party nominations. <br /><br />Hint, the main stream media is corporate driven. <br /><br />If I were you, and if you're in the market, I would get out now, while you're on top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654025.post-58362625982199747272007-02-02T20:02:00.000-08:002007-02-02T20:02:00.000-08:00Just because one group of people is a little loude...Just because one group of people is a little louder and receives more media exposure, it does not make them the majority.Douglas V.

In terms of meaningful discourse. In terms of being specific. <br /><br />Jenn, you see me as a something less familiar than a Martian. You don't even think I'm human. <br /><br />"What do they" - meaning liberals "want..." you ask, as if we are insects. All we want is what everybody else wants, which is Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness and Property. <br /><br />But beyond even that, what we lib/conservatives want is Peace & Prosperity. Imagnine that! You know, like during the Clinton Administration. <br /><br />From now on it's libs and conservatives together.
